Thomas County Law

Thomas County Law's got a crooked tooth
 
 Every traffic light is red when it tells the truth
 
 The church bell isn't kiddin' when it cries for you
 
 Nobody looks away when the sun goes down
 Thomas County road takes you where it will
 Someone singin' on the far side of other hills
 There's nowhere safe to bury all the time I've killed
 Nobody looks away when the sun goes down
 There's a couple ways to cross Thomas county line
 You can't see beyond the trees they're too tall and wide
 And I never seem to see around my brother's wife
 Nobody looks away when the sun goes down
 There are castles for kings
 There are birds without wings
 I could whine 'bout it all
 But I won't
 Thomas County Law's got a crooked tooth
 There ain't a mother with a heart less than black and blue
 When they hold 'em to the light you can see right through
 Every dreamer falls asleep in their dancin' shoes
 I may say I don't belong here but I know I do
 Nobody looks away when the sun goes down
 Nobody looks away when the sun goes down
